Olive Vinaigrette

Place extra virgin olive oil and the garlic, lemon juice, and olives in a food processor or blender until well blended.

Or, you can use a fork to mash everything in a small bowl until they become a paste.

Taste for seasoning.

Add salt and pepper to taste, and more lemon juice as necessary.

*This recipe goes great on the side of roasted broccoli or cauliflower.*

**This recipe makes about 1/3 cup.**

***Any kind of black olives cured with herbs will also work for this recipe.***

****You can also add 1/4 teaspoon of dried oregano or thyme to the vinaigrette or 1/2 teaspoon of fresh.****
